Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system and a method for delivery of fluids, in particular coloured fluids, solvents, water-based paints, inks, etc.
  • a final formula is meant to be a compound obtained by means of a single fluid or a mixture of at least two fluids.
  • Current integrated dosage machines comprise a fluid accumulation assembly, a dosage head, and a scale for dosing the components, i.e. the single fluids, in a sequential manner and for moving the containers in order to remove the final product.
  • a system for delivery of fluids, in particular coloured fluids is described herein, which is adapted to implement a dosage process wherein containers are filled up in order to obtain a finished product according to a given formula, said formula being representative of the dosage and/or composition of one or more fluids.
  • the system according to the invention comprises:
  • FIG. 1 and 2 there is schematically shown a system 1 for delivery of fluids according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a schematic top view of the system 1.
  • the system 1 comprises a dosage line 3 and at least one magazine 5,7.
  • a first magazine 5 is arranged along a first side of the dosage line 3
  • a second magazine 7 is arranged along a second side of the dosage line 3.
  • the dosage line 3 comprises motion means 31, e.g. an automatic conveyor, adapted to move, in the sense and direction of an arrow A, containers B 1 , B 2 , B 3 ,..., B n on support means of the dosage line 3, e.g. a roller track.
  • the dosage line 3 comprises P stations S 1 , S 2 , S 3 ,..., S p , wherein at each p-th station S an n-th container B and an i-th delivery actuator E (E 1 , E 2 , E 3 ,..., E i ) can be placed, the latter being arranged in proximity to an opening of an n-th container B.
  • Said i-th delivery actuator E allows delivering the fluid into the n-th container B.
  • the first magazine 5 and the second magazine 7 comprise delivery valves V 1 , V 2 , V 3 ,..., V m , wherein a storage point D 1 , D 2 , D 3 ,..., D m corresponds to each one of them.
  • Each delivery valve V 1 , V 2 , V 3 ,..., V m can be connected, through fluid transportation means, to a tank containing a certain fluid, in particular a coloured fluid. More in detail, the fluid transportation means comprise a delivery pump connected to the tank, and a tube with one end connected to the delivery pump; the other end of the tube is connected to the delivery valve V m . It is clear that the fluid transportation means may comprise technical elements that are alternative to the above-mentioned ones.
  • the dosage line 3 comprises washing modules L 1 , L 2 , L 3 ,..., L j , each one of which is arranged in proximity to the dosage point. Furthermore, at every station S there is a scale that measures and determines the weight of the container B; this is useful for determining the quantity of fluid delivered into the containers B when the latter are being filled with a fluid.
  • each station S there is one container B, one delivery actuator E, one scale, and, preferably, one washing module L.
  • the function of the washing module L is to wash, and possibly also dry, the delivery valves V once the dosage process has been completed.
  • the term "dosage process” refers herein to an operating process during which the containers B are filled in order to obtain a finished product for each formula.
  • the system 1 further comprises a robot 9, in particular a robotic arm, which is free to move forwards and backwards in a longitudinal direction (reference arrow RO) and in a transversal direction (reference arrow RV) of the dosage line 3.
  • the robot 9 is therefore adapted to pick up a delivery valve V 1 , V 2 , V 3 ,..., V m from a storage point D 1 , D 2 , D 3 ,..., D m and place it at a dosage point of the dosage line 3, i.e. on a delivery actuator E 1 , E 2 , E 3 ,..., E i in proximity to an opening of a corresponding container B 1 , B 2 , B 3 ,..., B n .
  • the system 1 comprises a control unit 11 configured for controlling and monitoring the operation and effectiveness of the whole system 1. More in detail, the control unit 11 comprises at least one processor and memory means (not shown in the drawings), which can execute machine instructions for checking and controlling the system 1.
  • the control unit 11 is connected to the first magazine 5, the dosage line 3, the second magazine 7, and the robot 9; therefore, the control unit 11 can exchange data with said elements 3, 5, 7 and 9.
  • control unit 11 controls PLC ("Programmable Logic Controller") modules included in the dosage line 3, in the first magazine 5, and in the second magazine 7.
  • PLC Programmable Logic Controller
  • a first container B 1 is positioned on the support means of the dosage line 3 while passing through and entry area 13 of the dosage line 3.
  • the first container B 1 is de facto positioned at a first station S 1 , where there are a first delivery actuator E 1 and a first washing module L 1 , as well as a first scale.
  • a robot 9 picks up, at a storage point D 1 , a first delivery valve V 1 associated with a first coloured fluid 17, and moves it towards the first delivery actuator E 1 , which will allow it to open, so that the first coloured fluid 17 will be delivered into the first container B 1 .
  • the first scale While the first coloured fluid 17 is being delivered, the first scale continuously checks the weight of the first container B 1 , until it reaches a limit value dictated by the formula, e.g. 10% of the whole composition. When the first scale detects such limit value, the first delivery actuator E 1 will command the first delivery valve V 1 to close. At the end of step 1, the first container B 1 will thus only contain the first coloured fluid 17.
  • a limit value dictated by the formula e.g. 10% of the whole composition.
  • the motion means allow the first container B 1 to translate or advance towards the second station S 2 (in the direction of the arrow A) and, preferably at the same time, a second container B 2 is positioned, from the entry area 13, onto the first station S 1 . It is worth specifying that it is the control unit 11 that controls the motion means for moving the containers B n from a first station to a second station when the fluid reaches the limit value dictated by said formula.
  • the first delivery actuator E 1 commands the first delivery valve V 1 to open, thereby allowing the first coloured fluid 17 to be delivered into the second container B 2 .
  • the robot 9 picks up, from a storage point D 2 , a second delivery valve V 2 associated with a second coloured fluid 19, and moves it towards the second delivery actuator E 2 , which will allow it to open, so that the second coloured fluid 19 will be delivered into the first container B 1 .
  • a second scale checks the weight of the first container B 1 until it reaches a limit value dictated by the formula, e.g. 30% of the whole composition (in other words, the second coloured fluid 19 is delivered in a quantity equal to 20% of the entire composition).
  • the second delivery actuator E 2 will command the second delivery valve V 2 to close; likewise, the first delivery valve V 1 will be closed at the first station S 1 for the first coloured fluid 17, which will have been delivered up to a limit value of 10% of the whole composition.
  • the first container B 1 will contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17 and 20% of the second coloured fluid, whereas the second container B 2 will only contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17.
  • the motion means allow the first container B 1 to translate or advance towards the third station S 3 and the second container B 2 to translate or advance towards the second station S 3 .
  • a third container B 3 is positioned onto the first station S 1 .
  • the first delivery actuator E 1 commands the first delivery valve V 1 to open, thereby allowing the first coloured fluid 17 to be delivered into the third container B 3 , in compliance with the limit value dictated by the formula.
  • the second delivery actuator E 2 commands the second delivery valve V 2 to open, thereby allowing the second coloured fluid 19 to be delivered into the second container B 2 , in compliance with the limit value dictated by the formula.
  • the robot 9 picks up, from a storage point D 3 , a third delivery valve V 3 associated with a third coloured fluid 21, and moves it towards the third delivery actuator E 3 , which will allow it to open, so that the third coloured fluid 21 will be delivered into the first container B 1 .
  • a third scale checks the weight of the first container B 1 until it reaches a limit value dictated by the formula, e.g. 60% of the whole composition (in other words, the third coloured fluid 21 will be delivered in a quantity equal to 30% of the entire composition).
  • the third delivery actuator E 3 When the third scale detects the limit value, the third delivery actuator E 3 will command the third delivery valve V 3 to close; also, the first delivery valve V 1 will be closed at the first station S 1 for the first coloured fluid 17 when a limit value of 10% of the whole composition is reached, and the second delivery valve V 2 will be closed at the second station S 2 for the second coloured fluid 19 when a limit value of 20% of the whole composition is reached.
  • the first container B 1 will contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17, 20% of the second coloured fluid 19, and 30% of the third coloured fluid 21, whereas the second container B 2 will contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17 and 20% of the second coloured fluid 19, and, finally, the third container B 3 will only contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17.
  • the motion means allow the first container B 1 to translate or advance towards a fourth station S 4 , the second container B 2 to translate or advance towards the third station S 3 , and the third container B 3 to translate or advance towards the second station S 2 .
  • a fourth container B 4 is positioned onto the first station S 1 .
  • the first delivery actuator E 1 commands the first delivery valve V 1 to open, thereby allowing the first coloured fluid 17 to be delivered into the fourth container B 4 , in compliance with the limit value dictated by the formula.
  • the second delivery actuator E 2 commands the second delivery valve V 2 to open, thereby allowing the second coloured fluid 19 to be delivered into the third container B 3 , in compliance with the limit value dictated by the formula.
  • the third delivery actuator E 3 commands the third delivery valve V 3 to open, thereby allowing the third coloured fluid 21 to be delivered into the second container B 2 , in compliance with the limit value dictated by the formula.
  • the robot 9 picks up, from a storage point D 4 , a fourth delivery valve V 4 associated with a fourth coloured fluid 23, moves it towards the fourth delivery actuator E 4 , which will allow it to open, so that the fourth coloured fluid 23 will be delivered into the first container B 1 .
  • a fourth scale checks the weight of the first container B 1 until it reaches a limit value dictated by the formula, e.g. 100% of the whole composition (in other words, the fourth coloured fluid 21 will be delivered in a quantity equal to 40% of the entire composition).
  • the fourth delivery actuator E 4 will command the fourth delivery valve V 4 to close; also, the first delivery valve V 1 will be closed at the first station S 1 for the first coloured fluid 17 when a limit value of 10% of the whole composition is reached, the second delivery valve V 2 will be closed at the second station S 2 for the second coloured fluid 19 when a limit value of 20% of the whole composition is reached, and the third delivery valve V 3 will be closed at the third station S 3 for the third coloured fluid 21 when a limit value of 30% of the whole composition is reached.
  • the first container B 1 will contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17, 20% of the second coloured fluid 19, 30% of the third coloured fluid 21, and 40% of the fourth coloured fluid 23.
  • the second container B 2 will contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17, 20% of the second coloured fluid 19, and 30% of the third coloured fluid 21.
  • the third container B 3 will contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17 and 20% of the second coloured fluid 19, whereas the fourth container B 4 will only contain 10% of the first coloured fluid 17.
  • the first container B 1 will contain the finished product and can be picked up by a lift truck and removed through an exit 15 of the dosage line 3.
  • the steps of the dosage process just described represent, de facto, a transient during which the dosage line 3 is loaded with containers B and these are filled up with coloured fluids in order to obtain the finished product. Therefore, the dosage process can be continued by feeding containers B into the dosage line 3, as long as a user wants to keep the same composition formula.
  • the dosage process will be considered to end.
  • the delivery valves V m once they have been placed at the dosage point E i , will remain stationary throughout the duration of the dosage process.
  • the dosage line 3 When a maximum number of containers B to be filled up is reached, the dosage line 3 will be emptied by removing the n-th container B.
  • the robot 9 will pick up each delivery valve V m and position it at the corresponding washing module L j .
  • the washing modules L j will wash, and possibly dry, the delivery valves V m in such a way that, when the latter are moved to the corresponding storage points D m , no dripping will occur in the environment.
  • the washing modules L j are hermetically sealed, so as to avoid any leakage of product (inks, solvents, dirty water, etc.) into the working environment.
  • the delivery valves V m may be washed, and possibly dried, when the fluid for the current formula is no longer used during the dosage process, in particular when the dosage line 3 is going through the phase wherein the containers B are removed (final step of the dosage process).
  • the dosage head is that part of the support which comprises the washing modules Lj and the delivery actuators E i .
  • This part of the support can move horizontally and vertically relative to the plane of the dosage line 3.
  • the horizontal motion of the dosage head occurs circularly with respect to a fixed point, since the dosage head is hinged at one point, and allows the space above the containers B n to be easily cleared whenever necessary.
  • the robot 9 will advantageously have to carry out only a few operations in the transient phase of the dosage process for picking up the delivery valves V m , and in the final phase of the dosage process for washing them and possibly storing them in the magazines 5, 7 (storage points D m ).
  • the delivery valves V m are stored in reverse order compared to the order in which the delivery valves V m were picked up from their storage point D m (during the initial transient phase of a dosage process). This will avoid any interference with the tubes connected to the delivery valves V m .
  • the dosage line 3 comprises just a single station S, where the robot 9 moves the delivery valves V m in order to deliver the fluids. In this case, no movements of the containers B will occur on the dosage line 3, but as for the rest the operation of the system will remain unchanged.
  • each station S may have multiple delivery actuators E i capable of receiving delivery valves V m , so as to speed up the production process carried out by the system 1.
  • Fig. 4E there is shown an example of a dosage line 3 wherein two delivery actuators E i are present at each station S.
  • Fig. 5A shows a side view of the system 1 as a whole.
  • the first magazine 5 and the second magazine 7 comprise, respectively, a first cable drag chain 51 and a second cable drag chain 71.
  • the first cable drag chain 51 and the second cable drag chain 71 comprise coupling means 52,72 adapted to connect the fluid transportation means 25, in particular a tube 25, to a tank located in the first magazine 5 or in the second magazine 7.
  • said coupling means 52,72 are arranged vertically with respect to the support plane of the first magazine 5 and of the second magazine 7, and one above the other.
  • a tube 25 carrying a specific coloured fluid is connected to each coupling means 52,72.
  • a delivery valve V m is connected to one end of the tube 25.
  • the tube 25 is flexible, and is therefore advantageously laid on a support line 29 that extends throughout the length of the dosage line 3.
  • the support line 29 avoids any interference between the tubes 25 when they are arranged over the delivery actuators E i .
  • each valve 27 may be provided with a fluid recirculation tube.
  • the robot 9 can move in two directions, i.e. longitudinally (arrow designated RO) and transversally (arrow designated RV) relative to the dosage line 3. More in detail, the robot 9 is an electromechanical arm equipped with a clamp 91 at one end, possibly an extensible one, which can work in the area comprised between the first magazine 5 and the second magazine 7, and at least throughout the length of the dosage line 3. Preferably, the robot 9 is anchored to a portal 8 provided with guiding means adapted to allow the same robot 9 to move in the two longitudinal and transversal directions.
  • RO longitudinally
  • RV transversally
  • the robot 9 can also be used for moving the containers B n along the dosage line 3 during the dosage process.
  • the first magazine 5 and the second magazine 7 comprise a first monorail assembly 53 and a second monorail assembly 73, to which the fluid transportation means 25 can be connected.
  • the first magazine 5 is identical to the second magazine 7, and therefore only the first magazine 5 will be described in detail.
  • the first monorail assembly 53 comprises at least one monorail 31 where carriages 33 are arranged, which can translate in the direction of the monorail 31, said carriages 33 being each equipped with a support 34 for bearing the tube 25 that transports the coloured fluid from a drum 35 to the delivery valve V m , designated by reference numeral 27, by means of a delivery pump 36.
  • the at least one monorail 31 is arranged parallel to the dosage line 3; the robot 9 can thus operate along all monorails 31, so as to be able to pick up the delivery valves V m from their storage points D m .
  • the delivery valves V m are positioned at the corresponding storage points D m on a rack 37 which is also useful as a support for the tube 25.
  • said second configuration of the fluid magazine 5,7 allows the tube 25 to be easily extended because, when the robot 9 picks up and moves the delivery valve V m on the delivery actuator E i , the tube 25 will extend due to the carriages 33 running along the monorail 31.
  • the method further envisages to:
  • the dosage process may also end on the basis of the number of containers B n to be filled up with the composition of a formula, i.e. when the preset number of containers B n to be filled up is reached.
  • a user may store said preset number of containers B n to be filled up into the memory means of the control unit 11, which will then verify, by means of a count sensor positioned along the dosage line 3, the number of containers B n containing the finished product.
  • the preset number of containers B n is reached, the dosage process will end.
  • the method optionally envisages to:
  • washing and drying operations may alternatively be carried out when the fluid for the current formula no longer needs to be used during the dosage process, in particular when the dosage line 3 is executing the step of removing the containers B (final step of the dosage process).
  • the robot 9 will bring the delivery valves V m back to their respective storage points D m .
  • the method according to the invention envisages to bring the delivery valves V m back to their respective storage points D m in reverse order compared to the order in which the same delivery valves V m were picked up from their storage point D m .
  • the method envisages to bring the delivery valves V m back to their respective storage points D m in an arbitrary order.
  • the present invention also relates to a computer program product which can be loaded into memory means of said control unit 11 and which is adapted to implement the method according to the invention.
  • a first advantage of the system and method for delivery of fluids according to the present invention is that they ensure better system automation and shorter production times.
  • a second advantage of the invention is that it ensures higher production volumes of finished product.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that the working environment will be cleaner and safer for the operators.
  • the system for delivery of fluids may comprise a plurality of dosage lines, in particular arranged side by side, so that production can be maximized.
  • the robot may pick up the delivery valves V m in a different order than that in which the fluids are loaded for the composition of the final formula.
